馬薩諸塞州有史以來最昂貴的提案終獲通過,而且贊成者為壓倒性多數(shù),提案內(nèi)容是擴大2013年首次簽署的“維修權(quán)”法。
公投要求汽車制造商在更廣泛的范圍內(nèi)開放汽車產(chǎn)生的數(shù)據(jù)。也就是說,在車主授權(quán)的情況下,汽車公司也應(yīng)該允許獨立經(jīng)銷商、汽車修理廠和機械師訪問這些數(shù)據(jù)。
該要求將于2022年生效。雖然早期的法律要求共享機械數(shù)據(jù),但在新提案中,還要求汽車制造商共享遠程信息處理、駕駛信息和診斷數(shù)據(jù),這類數(shù)據(jù)正在越來越多地通過無線傳輸由汽車發(fā)送到汽車制造商。
該提案的支持者認(rèn)為,此類信息對于第三方企業(yè)繼續(xù)提供維護和修理服務(wù)至關(guān)重要。反對者聲稱,新法律,尤其是匆忙通過的法律,將存在網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全、黑客攻擊和隱私風(fēng)險。
美國東部時間11月5日晚9點后,行業(yè)聯(lián)盟——馬薩諸塞州維修權(quán)委員會宣布投票獲勝,也應(yīng)證了美聯(lián)社此前一小時曾經(jīng)做出的預(yù)測。據(jù)86%的選區(qū)報告,該提案迄今已經(jīng)贏得了四分之三以上的選民支持。
湯米?希基是Yes on 1聯(lián)盟的董事,他在一份聲明中說:“絕大多數(shù)人支持立即更新維修權(quán)法,使之適用于今天的高科技車輛。汽車制造商試圖壟斷汽車維修市場,但選民阻止了他們。"
該提案的反對組織——安全數(shù)據(jù)聯(lián)盟發(fā)表聲明稱,地方維修商訪問基本數(shù)據(jù)的權(quán)利“早已寫入了馬薩諸塞州的法律”。
“今天的投票無助于增強這一權(quán)利,它只會允許對你的車輛進行實時雙向數(shù)據(jù)共享,從而增加風(fēng)險。”反對派組織表示,“對于為什么全國汽車零部件連鎖店需要這些信息來為你的汽車提供服務(wù),持贊成意見的一方從未提供過任何可信的論據(jù)。”
維修權(quán)是一個有爭議的問題。從iPhone制造商蘋果到拖拉機制造商約翰迪爾,眾多企業(yè)反對者更傾向于保持對產(chǎn)品的嚴(yán)格控制。而隨著特斯拉和通用汽車等汽車制造商在自己的汽車上增加自動駕駛功能,該問題的爭議也變得更加激烈。

Massachusetts overwhelmingly voted in favor of what has been described as the most expensive ballot measure in the state’s history: an extension of a “right to repair” law first signed in 2013.
The referendum will require automakers to open up data generated by vehicles to a broader set of constituents. Namely, it will force car companies to allow independent dealerships, auto repair shops, and mechanics to have access, as authorized by car owners.
The requirement is slated to take effect in model year 2022. While the earlier law required the sharing of mechanical data, the new proposal compels carmakers to include the sharing of telematics, driving, and diagnostics data, the kind that increasingly gets transmitted wirelessly from cars to automakers.
Advocates of the proposal argued that such information is essential for third-party businesses to continue providing maintenance and repair services. Opponents alleged that the new law, especially adopted on short notice, would present cybersecurity, hacking, and privacy risks.
The Massachusetts Right to Repair Committee, an industry coalition, declared victory after 9 p.m. ET, an or so hour before the Associated Press projected the ballot measure’s passage. With 86% of precincts reporting, the proposal has so far won over three-quarters of voters.
“The people have spoken—by a huge margin—in favor of immediately updating right to repair so it applies to today’s high-tech cars and trucks,” Tommy Hickey, the director of the Yes on 1 coalition, said in a statement. “Automakers were trying to corner the market on car repairs, but the voters stopped them.”
The Coalition for Safe and Secure Data, a group that opposed the proposal, released its own statement alleging that local repair shops’ right to access essential data was “already enshrined in Massachusetts law.”
“Today’s vote will do nothing to enhance that right—it will only grant real-time, two-way access to your vehicle and increase risk,” the oppositional group said. “At no point did the Yes side provide any credible arguments as to why national auto parts chains need this information to service your vehicles.”
The right to repair is a contentious issue. Corporate opponents range from iPhone maker Apple to tractor-maker John Deere, which prefer to maintain tight control of their products. As carmakers like Tesla and GM add autonomous driving features to their vehicles, the issue has grown more heated.
Kyle Wiens, cofounder of iFixit, a DIY community, praised the ballot measure’s passage. “It’s your car. You should be able to fix it yourself,” he said in a post on Twitter.
“This will be the most advanced #RightToRepair law in the world, opening wireless automotive diagnostics and unleashing a world of possible apps,” Wiens added.
